Well the Good News is that things are Pretty Static , these Cars have found their Level and that Level depends on the particular model concerned . Good restored 3.8s are commanding in excess of £40,000 with Dealerships though a complete ground up restoration is not financially viable . In fact the costs are the same as an E type around £70,000 to £80,000 if carried out professionally and all Parts are available , these are tricky cars to restore especially the interiors which are much more complex than the E type . A good 3.8 sold Privately however will expect to make between £20,000 and £30,000 . The 3.4 and the 2.4 are the real bargains with fully restored 3.4s making between £15000 and £20000 and 2.4s around £10,000 to £15000 . The 60th Anniversary may change things slightly , these Cars however aren't Hyped like the E Types so a pretty safe place for your money .If your looking to buy you will want 40psi Oil Pressure under load and a lack of oil leaks , a failed rear crankshaft seal for example can prompt a complete rebuild . Rust hides in the longitudinal chassis legs especially from the Front Crossmembers back to the A Posts , poorly fitting Panels point to rotten sills which mean an expensive full body restoration
